Vancouver, British Columbia – January 10, 2018 – GLOBAL HEMP GROUP INC. (“GHG” or the “Company”) (CSE:GHG / FF:GHG / OTC:GBHPF) and Marijuana Company of America, Inc. (“MCOA”) (OTC: MCOA), industrial hemp and cannabis corporations, are pleased to provide a final report on the first phase of their industrial hemp project in New Brunswick.

On September 5, 2017, MCOA and GHG announced their joint venture to develop commercial hemp production on the Acadian peninsula of New Brunswick, Canada.

In this first phase of GHG and MCOA’s (the “Partners”) multi-phase hemp project in northeast New Brunswick (NB), the Partners have successfully cultivated industrial hemp during the 2017 growing season (see Phase One Hemp Trial Results below). For this phase of the project, the Partners only grew hemp for research purposes, as this was the first time in 20 years that industrial hemp was grown in the region. The objective of phase one was to re-introduce hemp into the area, and ensure that it could be productive under New Brunswick growing conditions prior to significantly increasing cultivation acreage and building a hemp processing facility in the region, in future phases of the project.

The Partners are preparing for the proposed changes to Canadian legislation expected in 2018 that will permit cannabidiol (CBD) extraction from industrial hemp. Health Canada is currently consulting industry representatives regarding the regulations that will accompany the new cannabis legislation expected by July 1, 2018.

The Partners are now focusing on the next season of crops. Farmers have been recruited and a minimum of 125 acres of hemp cultivation is planned for 2018, with the goal of increasing the acreage under cultivation to 1,000 acres by year three of the project. This first commercial crop will focus on CBD extraction. GHG is required to have a processing license to do this type of extraction and will be submitting an application shortly. The Partners are currently considering sites in northeast New Brunswick to locate their processing facilities. In addition, discussions are underway regarding the purchase of extraction equipment for cannabinoids, and straw processing equipment for building materials. The companies expect the facilities to be in place and operational for the 2018 harvest in October.

Under the joint venture MCOA will facilitate access to international markets for the project’s CBD production, product development and distribution, while GHG will provide technical and management expertise. MCOA has Right of First Refusal as the primary off-taker of the cannabinoids from all future hemp cultivation projects.

RENEWAL OF GHG’S HEMP LICENSE IN CANADAGHG’s industrial hemp license was renewed for 2018. Under current legislation, hemp flowers and leaves grown under field conditions cannot be processed. It is expected that this will be allowed under new 2018 regulations, but will still require additional licenses: one to extract the CBD and another to sell CBD for medical or non-medical purposes. In anticipation of this change, GHG will be applying for a license under the Narcotics Control Regulations (NCR) to extract CBD, and an additional license under the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes (ACMPR) to sell it to wholesale and retail customers in Canada.

FINAL TRIAL RESULTSThe trial consisted of fifteen test plots with three different varieties and as many planting densities of hemp, in two different locations east and west of Bathurst.

The trials were sampled and collected materials were measured at Collège Communautaire du Nouveau Brunswick (CCNB), Grand Falls laboratory where standard drying and measuring procedures were applied to the hemp straw, flowers, and leaves collected. Straw yields averaged 1.0-2.5 T/ha, whereas the combined flowers and leaves of the plant averaged 1.25-2.10 T/ha. The Partners are confident that with an earlier planting date, adequate soil preparation, and a higher fertilizer application, yields will be improved in future seasons.

Cannabinoid analysis of the flowers and leaves was completed by RPC – Science & Engineering (RPC), an accredited laboratory located in Fredericton, NB. Contrary to expectations leaves, rather than the flowers, contained a greater concentration of CBD, largely explained by laboratory procedures. The highest concentration that was found was the CFX-1 leaf sample that resulted in 1.46% for the 30 kg/ha plant density compared to 1.17% for the flowers. Also, it should be noted that the CBD concentration in flowers is consistently higher at densities of 30 kg/ha across all varieties that were tested.

Frank Giese, an advisor to GHG, will consult on the 2018 cultivation to assist in increasing both plant yield and cannabinoid production. Through his experience, he has bridged the fundamentals of scientific research and hemp/cannabis breeding, as well as the use and development of modern cultivation and processing techniques in his breeding work. He has become proficient in breeding cannabinoid rich varieties of hemp, as well as being very experienced in auto flower breeding.

Further to the Company’s news release of October 10, 2017, announcing GHG and MCOA entering into a Letter of Intent with Space Cowboys, Inc. to form a joint venture on their Colorado hemp project, the companies were unable to complete satisfactory due diligence on the project and have let the LOI expire and will not be proceeding with the project. The Company continues to evaluate other hemp projects in both Canada and the United States.

Vancouver, British Columbia –September 21, 2017 – GLOBAL HEMP GROUP INC. (“GHG” or the “Company”) (CSE:GHG / FF:GHG / OTC:GBHPF), in conjunction with its joint venture partner, the MARIJUANA COMPANY OF AMERICA INC. (OTC: MCOA) is pleased to provide an update on the first year hemp growing trial conducted in New Brunswick, Canada.

The field portion of this first-year trial is now complete, with results from laboratory analysis of CBD concentrations of the flowers and leaves expected within the next two to four weeks. For this initial growing season:

two farmers were contracted in northeast New Brunswick to participate in the trial

three varieties of hemp were grown on Test Plot 1 (CFX1, CFX2 & CRS1)

two varieties of hemp were on Test Plot 2 (CFX1 & CFX2)

three planting densities were utilized (15, 30 & 50 kg/ha)

straw yields ranged from 1.10 to 2.47 tons/ha

flower production ranged from 0.79 to 1.69 tons/ha

These results confirm what was seen from casual observation. This year’s yields are somewhat lower than expected, due to the late planting and incomplete field preparation (both which will be rectified for the 2018 cultivation), and lack of rainfall in the Spring. In 2018, taller varieties of hemp will be grown to increase straw yields and flowers. For the 2017 trial, the CRS1 outperformed the other varieties in straw production, and CFX2 produced the best flower yields. These results are indicative of the performance of varieties under largely unfavourable conditions.

Future PlansFarming – As the future focus of the project will be on flower and straw production, other varieties with higher straw and similar flower yields will be selected for next year. GHG is currently evaluating a number of varieties for the coming year.

Next year’s production will focus on five experienced farmers cultivating a total of 125 acres. GHG has also recruited an agronomist to provide agronomic support to the farmers. Interaction with the farmers will be essential in finding solutions to practical problems that will inevitably arise. To maximize the visibility of the hemp farming experience in the region, farmers were selected across the northeast region of NB.

Industrial site selection – Bathurst appears to be the logical central point to process the straw and flowers coming from as far as Campbellton (75 km to the west) and from Miramichi (75 km to the southeast). The area comprises close to 40,000 acres, mostly in field crops, making hemp an excellent alternative.

There are many industrial sites currently available in the Bathurst region since the closing of the paper mill and mines in the area. The city of Bathurst identified a number such sites in and around its industrial zone that Management recently visited. The mayor of Bathurst and his team were very supportive in the effort to bring processing/job creation to the region. Other sites outside the Bathurst city limits were also explored as possible processing locations.

Research and training – Bathurst is also the site of a very dynamic college, the Collège Communautaire du Nouveau Brunswick (CCNB), with its innovation center designed to support innovation in industry. The project has already benefited from its laboratory capacity in analyzing this year’s hemp samples. The centre is expected to be helpful in addressing some of the technical issues associated with crop production and processing, and training.

Selection of industrial processes.GHG plans to focus on the processing of the flowers for cannabinoid extraction as legislation permits, and the straw for fibre and hurd products. Discussions regarding the engagement of key technological partners is continuing. Once finalized, they will be included in the next version of the project overview that will be submitted to Opportunities New Brunswick in the coming months.

In addition, the Company is pleased to report that all resolutions were passed at its recent Annual General Meeting held earlier this month. The Board of Directors would like to thank all shareholders for their continued support and confidence.

The Board of Directors and Officers for the upcoming year will consist of:

Charles Larsen – President, CEO, and Director

Curt Huber – CFO, Director, and Chairman of the Audit Committee

Paul Perrault – Director and Audit Committee Member

Jeffrey Kilpatrick – Director and Audit Committee Member

The Company also announces that it has granted an aggregate total of 8,750,000 incentive stock options to its directors, officers, and consultants, in accordance with the Company’s Stock Option Plan. The options are exercisable at a price of $0.05 per share and will expire between September 20, 2019 and September 20, 2022.

Vancouver, British Columbia –September 5, 2017 – GLOBAL HEMP GROUP INC. (“GHG” or the “Company”) (CSE:GHG / FF:GHG / OTC:GBHPF) an industrial hemp and cannabis corporation, is pleased to announce that it has established a Joint Venture (JV) with Marijuana Company of America, Inc. (OTC: MCOA) to participate in the development of its New Brunswick hemp project.

Under the terms of the Joint Venture, MCOA, a California based cannabis and hemp research and development company, whose business includes the marketing and distribution of hemp-based consumer wellness products, will assist GHG in developing commercial hemp production in New Brunswick (NB). In this first year of the JV, MCOA will share the costs of the ongoing hemp trial in NB; provide its expertise in developing hemp cultivation going forward; and, be granted a right of first refusal as GHG’s primary off-taker of any raw materials produced from the project. As recently announced, the Company has also partnered with Collège Communautaire du Nouveau Brunswick (CCNB) in Bathurst, New Brunswick to assist in conducting research with the hemp trials. The trials are taking place on the Acadian peninsula of NB, and the initial trials to establish commercial cultivation are expected to be finalized in 2018.

GHG’s Hemp Agro-Industrial Zone concept, or HAIZ, collaboratively produces and processes 100% of the hemp plant to produce a number of wholesale industrial materials, and ultimately high value cannabinoids like CBD, CBG and CBN. MCOA will become GHG’s preferred off taker for cannabinoids produced and extracted.

GHG’s ultimate goal is to produce greater social and environmental benefits for New Brunswick, and value for shareholders. This research trial will provide valuable information to refine the Company’s project designed to support and promote the expansion of the hemp industry into New Brunswick, through the development of the processing infrastructure required to take the industry to the next level. The HAIZ will provide market opportunities for farmers; create jobs in an economically depressed area; provide the opportunity to develop biodegradable products of superior quality; and, help support GHG’s commitment to creating a carbon free economy.

“We are very pleased to joint venture with Marijuana Company of America and to establish a primary off-taker so early in our New Brunswick trials, and to explore opportunities to do the same across Canada and the United States”, said CEO, Charles Larsen.

Vancouver, British Columbia –August 29, 2017 – GLOBAL HEMP GROUP INC. (“GHG” or the “Company”) (CSE:GHG / FF:GHG / OTC:GBHPF) an industrial hemp and cannabis corporation, is pleased to provide an update on its New Brunswick hemp project.

Global Hemp Group has begun the first phase of a multi-phase industrial hemp project in northeast New Brunswick to introduce commercial cultivation and processing of hemp into the region. This is the first time in 20 years that industrial hemp has been grown in the Bathurst area. The trial consists of fifteen test plots with three varieties of hemp, and three different planting densities, in two different locations on each side of Bathurst.

The first phase, an initial growing trial, began in early June. The Company planned on beginning this year’s trial earlier in the year, but had difficulties getting the requested varieties of seed to New Brunswick. It is expected that next year’s cultivation will begin in May as seed has already been sourced for the 2018 cultivation which is expected to be significantly expanded from this year’s initial trial. This late start resulted in minimum prior soil preparation, and even the repurposing of some land that had already been sown with barley. Such plots were plowed again just prior to planting, and the hemp had to compete with barley and corn seed left from the previous seasons. This will be easily corrected next season when land dedicated solely to hemp will be prepared this fall. While output measures from the test plots this year are likely to be less than optimal due to these poor initial conditions, hemp is proving that it can grow well in the region. To see pictures and updates on the trial, visit the Company’s website; https://globalhempgroup.com/trialupdates/.

Dr. Paul Perrault, a Development Economist and Director of GHG oversees the project and is currently onsite to collect samples from the test plots. This week flower and leaf samples will be sent to RPC Fredericton to test for Cannabinoids and Terpene concentration. Further analysis will focus on the green and dried weight of the straw and the output of the flowers and leaves. Observations are being made on the competition from prior crops and from weeds in the different planting densities of hemp.

Farmer commitment for 2018 – GHG initially intended on recruiting 20 farmers with 5 acres each for cultivation in 2018. Currently the Company has interest from five farmers with at least 25 acres each to participate in the expanded cultivation next season. Having less participants and more acreage will simplify research management as we continue to fine-tune the current process. Being able to plan now for the 2018 crop will allow farmers to prepare their soil in advance this fall, to be better ready for the coming growing season.

“We are very pleased with progress of the trials and the level of interest from farmers for expanding the project next season. We look forward to collecting and analyzing the data from this initial trial and using it to prepare for next year”, said CEO, Charles Larsen.

Further to the Company’s news release of July 31, 2017, the 4,668,105 common share purchase warrants referenced in that news release will be extended to July 31, 2019 and will be repriced to $0.10 per share, not $0.05 per share as previously announced.

Vancouver, British Columbia – August 9, 2017 – GLOBAL HEMP GROUP INC. (“Global Hemp Group” or the “Company”) (CSE:GHG / FF:GHG / OTC:GBHPF) an industrial hemp and cannabis corporation, is pleased to announce that it has partnered with the Collège Communautaire du Nouveau Brunswick (CCNB) in Bathurst, New Brunswick. CCNB will assist the Company in research on GHG’s ongoing industrial hemp trials in the region.

With the support of Mr. Jesse Chiasson, Business growth officer at the Department of Agriculture, Aquaculture and Fisheries (DAAF) in Bathurst, a number of farmers were enlisted in the project on a protocol to test three varieties of industrial hemp. CCNB will perform laboratory tests in support of these trials. A contract covering these services was signed on July 28. GHG envisions further collaboration with CCNB-INNOV, the R&D network of CCNB located at its Bathurst campus, as well as with CCNB’s academic and contract training divisions to develop the new skills required by hemp farming and processing. Such collaboration will be the subject of formal contracts and MOUs. “CCNB-INNOV is excited and enthusiastic in collaborating on this kind of project”, says Dr. Sylvain Poirier, the Entrepreneurship & Innovation Executive Director at CCNB and head of the CCNB-INNOV network.

These tests will provide information to validate agronomic and key yield data in preparation of a large scale industrial development project that will involve processing of the full plant: grain, straw, flowers and leaves, scheduled to begin next year. The results of these tests will also be used in discussions with farmers of the region in late August to refine a hemp-based farming model, and to mobilize additional farmers for the next growing season. The project has also been submitted to Opportunities New Brunswick for financial support.

GHG’s Hemp Agro-Industrial Zone concept, or HAIZ, is a system that engages farmers, processors using a variety of proprietary technologies, and manufacturers to collaboratively produce and process 100% of the hemp plant into a number of wholesale materials that can be manufactured into tens of thousands of healthy and sustainable products. The HAIZ will be surrounded by hemp production thereby minimizing the costs of expensive transportation to distant processing facilities. It will broaden market opportunities for farmers, create manufacturing jobs in the surrounding region, fabricate market changing biodegradable products, while supporting GHG’s commitment to creating a carbon free economy

“We are pleased to have Mr. Chiasson and CCNB onboard as our research partners as we progress in our initial trials in New Brunswick. We look forward to continued collaboration with CCNB on this project and future projects,” Said CEO, Charles Larsen.

Vancouver, British Columbia – July 25, 2017 – GLOBAL HEMP GROUP INC. (“Global Hemp”, “GHG”, or the “Company”) (CSE:GHG / FF:GHG / OTC:GBHPF) an industrial hemp and cannabis corporation is pleased to announce that Health Canada has renewed its Industrial Hemp License for the current year, which for 2017 will include the ability to cultivate hemp.

Since renewing its license, the Company has launched the first phase of a multi-phase industrial hemp project on the Acadian peninsula of New Brunswick, which is envisioned to culminate in the development of GHG’s first Hemp Agro-Industrial Zone, or HAIZ.

This first phase of the project is a hemp cultivation and research trial. Dr. Paul Perrault, a Development Economist and Director of GHG visited the region in mid-May where he met with officials from the Department of Agriculture, Aquaculture and Fisheries (DAAF), Opportunities New Brunswick, and several farmers in the area . With the support of Mr. Jesse Chiasson, Development Officer at the DAAF, a number of farmers were enlisted in the project on a protocol to test three varieties of industrial hemp. A field agronomist was recruited to oversee the trials, with results expected later this year. GHG is in ongoing discussions with a local research partner to collaborate on these trials.

GHG’s HAIZ concept engages farmers, processors providing a variety of proprietary disruptive technologies, and manufacturers to collaboratively produce and process 100% of the hemp plant into a number of wholesale materials that can be manufactured into tens of thousands of healthy and sustainable products. The HAIZ will be surrounded by hemp production thereby minimizing the cost of expensive transportation to distant processing facilities. The HAIZ will produce social and environmental benefits to the community, and value for investors in the Company. These zones will create jobs for farmers, foster rural development, provide the opportunity to develop more sustainable products of superior quality and help support GHG’s commitment to creating a carbon free economy.

“We are very pleased to have begun hemp trials in New Brunswick with the support of DAAF and we expect to secure a local research partner for the project very soon. We see great potential for this Maritime Province to take advantage of this socially, environmentally and economically beneficial crop,” said CEO, Charles Larsen.

The Company is also pleased to announce the launch of its new corporate website; GlobalHempGroup.com. Information and pictures on the New Brunswick hemp trials can be found on the website in the Projects section.

Mr. Larsen said, “We are happy to have launched our new corporate website that reflects the new direction of Global Hemp Group. Hill & Drakoln built a beautiful site for GHG.”

GHG management continues to evaluate additional hemp and cannabis projects in both Canada and the United States.
